Addiction

Addiction tears at me like a dull knife
Controlling the every aspect of my life

It breaks me down to little pieces
It makes you write your life thesis

I try to escape but its got a firm grip
Taking me on one long painful trip

Is there any way to eliminate? 
This big bad wolf that doesn't discriminate

Its eats away at my very existence
This disease is so very persistent

It feeds on me from the inside out
Leaving a shell of extreme self doubt
